COOK’s NOTES and TIPS for Silky Chocolate Cream Pie:
- The perfect dessert to make ahead and chill overnight.
- It’s very important to allow the temperature of the Tofu to warm up on your counter for at leastย 15 minutes or more before blending it with hot melted chocolate.ย Otherwise, the coldness of the Tofuย may not blendย very well and will ruin the mixture.
- For this recipe, it is best to blend in a food processor.ย
- Be sure to POUR in the melted chocolate through the feed tube on top andย while it’s still very hotย before it starts to cool down.ย This will ensure the Tofu will blend into a creamy mixture.
- This chocolate cream pie will be very warm and needs to be chilled in the refrigerator, uncovered for a few hours.ย Stays fresh for up to 2 days.ย
- Best served chilled.

Questions and Answers…
1. What is Tofu?
Tofu is a plant-based product made from soybeans. It’s made from the curds of soymilk and those curds are pressed into blocks and then made into different textures such as soft, firm, and extra firm.
2. Where Can I Buy Tofu?
Silken tofu can be found in the dairy section at your local supermarket. You can even find organic Silken Tofu at Whole Foods, or buy it online. Tofu is inexpensive, it costs under $3.oo per package.
Be sure to buy the “soft” Silken Tofu and not the “firm” one. Soft tofu is one that is used primarily for desserts, whereas firm tofu is used for cooking.
3. Can I Omit the Coffee Liqueur?
Yes, you can! I have made this pie a dozen times and made it only once without any liqueur, and it still tasted great! So no worries, it won’t be a deal-breaker.
Your family and friends will LOVE this silky chocolate cream pie!! Give it a try!
ENJOY!! ๐

Prep Time
13 minutes
Cook Time
2 minutes
Total Time
15 minutes
Ingredients
- 12-ounces dark chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup coffee liqueur (I used Kahlua)
- 14-ounces Silken Tofu SOFT - room temperature
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 ready ( 9-inch) chocolate pie crust (or a gluten-free crust)
- Optional: white chocolate grated, and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, as garnish
For Whipped Cream:
- 2 cups heavy cream (or canned coconut cream)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp. powdered sugar
Instructions
- First, open the package of Tofu and drain the liquid. Set it aside to warm up to room temperature for at least 15 minutes, and before you start melting the chocolate.
- When you are ready, prepare the ready pie crust,. Open the package and set it aside.
- In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips until completely melted.
- Whisk vigorously the coffee liqueur as you pour it into the melted chocolate. Remove from heat, so you don't burn the chocolate.
- Use a food processor (or blender). Add Silken Tofu, honey and vanilla. Blend on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth and well blended.
- Carefully open the spout of the food processor ( or blender) and slowly pour in the hot chocolate mixture while it's still blending on medium speed. The melted chocolate has to be hot in order to get the consistency needed for this chocolate pie. Close the lid.
- Press on the highest speed, and puree for a few minutes, until the mixture is well combined.
- Pour chocolate mixture into a 9-inch pie crust.
- Chill uncovered for 3 to 4 hours, then you can cover or lightly wrap with clear wrap. Or chill overnight. Garnish on top with some grated white chocolate, along with a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips. Serve sliced with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
- Yields: 6 to 8 slices
TO MAKE WHIPPED CREAM:
- In a stainless steel mixing bowl, beat heavy cream with vanilla extract for about 3 minutes. Continue to beat on high speed and add in powdered sugar while beating, until it forms peaks. Cover with clear wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve with the pie.

Thank you for this delicious recipe which I’m trying out today with the silken tofu! I appreciate that it’s a dessert without gluten and sugar (except a little in the very dark chocolate I am going to use)! My whipped coconut milk topping will also be without sugar! I can even make it into a pudding and omit the crumb base!!
You are so welcome Sandra! And yes! The coconut cream will make a lovely whipped cream substitute for this pie! I would suggest serving the whipped topping on the side or on top of each slice when serving. Enjoy!!
This sounds fabulous and something I’d love to make for my husband whose favorite dessert was chocolate cream pie when we were first married ๐
So sweet ! Thanks so much!
